Bush sees 'role' for transgender soldiers
The Hill ^ | 6/17/15 | Ben Kamisar

Posted on 06/17/2015 1:50:03 PM PDT by jimbo123

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush did not rule out transgender troops serving in the military during comments on the campaign trail in Iowa.

“I’m sure there’s a role for everybody to play in the armed forces,” said Bush, a 2016 White House contender, according to BuzzFeed News.

“I think it would depend on the role, the specific role, whether it’s appropriate or not.”

He added morale should be the top priority of the military and that if “you can accommodate that in that kind of environment, I don’t think there’s a problem for it.”

Daddy was in the Army Infantry during WWII. He said back then, the homosexuals generally didn’t make it through basic training. Not because anyone harassed them; but they simply couldn’t cut it. Now, any who did happen to hold up under basic, did not touch other soldiers in that way. They had their minds on one thing & one thing only - stopping Hitler.

Jeb is wearing the GOP jersey. Otherwise, he’s a big government liberal.

The only place those creeps should ever be used in our military is one position ... point man.

Jeb Bush: “I used to be a conservative”
“I used to be a conservative and I watch these debates and I’m wondering, I don’t think I’ve changed, but it’s a little troubling sometimes when people are appealing to people’s fears and emotion rather than trying to get them to look over the horizon for a broader perspective and that’s kind of where we are,” said the former Florida Governor.

“I’m sure there’s a role for everybody to play in the armed forces,”


Sure, let’s make a list.

— Gays
— Transgenders
— Handicapped (er....physically challenged)
— Mentally challenged
— Criminals
— Gang Members
— Jihadis

As long as the MSM eats up pinprick drone strikes, who needs to actually win wars anyway?

That was my first thought, too. We don’t need mentally unstable people in the military.

Just what I was thinking. It used to be a strategy to get kicked out, now Presidential candidates see a role for sick freaks in the military. Peachy!

“I’m sure there’s a role for everybody to play in the armed forces...”

The operative word is “play” when considering homosexuals in the military.
